Update: Gerry & the International Television Festival

Meanwhile, Mr McCann is set to speak at this year's Edinburgh International Television Festival. He will talk about the role that television and the media have played in the hunt for his daughter. He will be interviewed by Kirsty Wark in the festival's Richard Dunn interview. Peter Barron, the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival advisory chair, said the McCanns' campaign to find their daughter had been "a new and moving phenomenon in 2007". He added: "We are very pleased to welcome Gerry McCann to Edinburgh to share his thoughts on how harnessing the power of the modern media can be used to help others in similar situations." The events will run from Friday, August 24, to Sunday, August 26. (Sky News)
